I really don’t know if I qualify for being depressed. I chose to have “depressed” as a part of my user name because it was a label that people were throwing onto me. I thought that depression was irrational. Wanting to die for no reason seems like depression, but wanting to die because of say, spiritual reasons or philosophical reasons does not seem much like a “chemical imbalance” to me. I should probably be careful with what I state here, but I believe that some people actually have rational reasons for suicide.
I don’t know if my reasoning would be so rational, though. All I want in life is to be happy, but happiness is a struggle, and it seems to be too little of a payout. I believe that it will not last. College isn’t making me happy and only people seem to have the potential to make me happy, but after some socialisation, I begin to feel drained and melancholic. A problem with people is that I cannot relate. I’m pro-death. I’m pro-abortion. Even though abortion makes me feel sick, I agree with it because there is no reason to bring life into the world, especially if a parent cannot afford a child, among other reasons that I don’t feel like explaining. I do not feel inferior to others or unworthy of love, except when I look at history. I think of all of the people who have died needlessly and much before their time, and I often wonder why I should live if those people, who were just as worthy of happiness as I am, died tragically. I guess God is real, and God is an apathetic asshole. That alone is enough of a reason to avoid worshipping God.

I can relate to you so well. You have scripted paragraph of pure honesty.
I am also pro-death and pro-abortion. I was pregnant at age seventeen because of an abusive asshole that I couldn’t see myself keeping in my life forever; and neither me nor my parents were financially stable enough to afford me to have a child. I hate that I had to do as I did and I was so ashamed that I told no one for years. It wasn’t until this year – three years later – that my parents found out due to my hospitalization. They didn’t even know of my ED, “depression” and self harm until I tried to commit a few months ago. Perhaps because I moved out of home the moment I turned eighteen. As for pro-death; I am all for it because the way I see it – eventually we all die. Whether we live to ninety, or twenty, death is unavoidable. And I have no fear of what lies in the afterworld – if there is indeed one.
I’m sorry you feel as I do. I wish you luck in your journey and hope that you can find happiness soon.
